About the Camp
Each of us carries an inner compass — the values that guide how we treat others, respond to challenges, and grow through life. During this week of camp, children and youth will explore where that compass leads: justice, interdependence, transformation, generosity, and love. Through play, creativity, leadership, and reflection, campers will practice fairness, teamwork, problem-solving, and caring for one another.
This is more than a week of activities — it is a week of discovering what guides us and how we walk together.
How it Relates to UU Values
Each of us carries an inner compass — the values that guide how we treat others, respond to challenges, and grow through life.
During this week of summer camp, children and youth will explore what it means to follow that compass toward justice, connection, growth, generosity, and love. Through play, creativity, leadership, and reflection, campers will practice fairness, teamwork, problem-solving, and caring for one another.
Rooted in Unitarian Universalist values, this camp welcomes families of all backgrounds and beliefs. Whether you are new to our community or have been here for years, Where the Compass Leads offers a space where children can belong, build confidence, and learn how their actions shape the world around them.
